In those good old days during the IT peak time, I had a chance to
see many European countries, mainly Germany , and
some places in the US. It gave me a good perspective of our own country
and sort of caused me to think out-of-box to imagine many more
possibilities (which I just used to take for granted as impossible or never
even knew about). Abdul Kalam’s Song of India reinforced
my belief that I was on the right track. I would like to share these
thoughts with you, and hope to hear what you feel about them. Over
time, I started assembling various bits of information from totally unrelated
sources together like a jigsaw puzzle to reveal an
incredible pattern. If the Internet is like an ocean, then you can say
that my hobby is to occasionally do some deep sea diving, and these
are some pearls (in the form of HTML links 🙂 ). I
also came across some simple habits to improve
one’s health. And don’t miss out on some critical information on
health.
An alarming observation is that many of our Indian languages are
getting phased out due to English. Compared to Tamil, Telugu,
Hindi, Malayalam are all relatively better off, in my opinion the one in
the worst condition is Kannada. However I hope that some of the ideas I have
presented here (not all are my own) applies to any Indian language: I hope
every Indian becomes aware of these warning signs of
extinction.
If you like nature, you could read about my trip to Mudhumalai which
was a great National Geographic style adventure. And do spare some time to have
a look at this attempt to save nature.
I had tried many approaches to understanding ‘Life, Universe and
Everything’ as Douglas Adams puts it, but I finally found what I was
looking for when I went on this 10 day retreat in
search of the ultimate truth (in Oct 2001).
If you’re feeling thoughtful you could have a look at
this forwarded mail and my reply about Quarter-life
crisis 🙂 …something most of us commonly find ourselves in. Whenever
you need a laugh, there’s this really funny mailing list you could ruminate
through. Or you could have a look at this long page of my collection of
quotes from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I used to work in iCOPE
Technologies since 1997, I loved everything about the job, and quit
while I was ahead to join HP in April
2002. You can read more about me …and also
see me – though not highly recommended 🙂
